6 Shapes of Bone |
Sutural Bones, Irregular Bones, Short Bones, Flat Bones, Sesamoid Bones |
|
Sutural Bones |
Small, irregular bones, Found between the flat bones of the skull |
|
Irregular Bones |
Have complex shapes, Spinal vertebrae and pelvic bones |
|
Short Bones |
Small thick bones, Wrist bones (carpels), Ankle bones (tarsals) |
|
Long Bones |
Long and thin, Found in arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers, toes |
|
Sesamoid Bones |
Small and flat, Develop inside tendons near joints of knees, hands, and feet
|
|
Epiphysis |
Wide part at each end, Articulation with other bones, Mostly Spongy Bone, Covered with compact bone
|
|
Metaphysis |
Where the diaphysis and Epiphysis meet |
|
Diaphysis |
The shaft, The heavy wall of compact bone or dense bone, Has a central space called the medullary cavity
|
|
Periosteum |
Covers the outer part of Bone, Isolates bone from surrounding tissue, Provides route for blood vessels and nerves, Takes part in bone growth and repair |
|
2 layers of Periosteum |
Fibrous Layer, Cellular layer |
|
Fibrous Layer |
Contains blood vessels and nerves |
|
Cellular Layer |
Singular layer of cells that give rise to osteoblast |
|
Compact Bone |
Deep to the Periosteum, Superficial to the spongy bone, Dense bone that contains parallel osteons
|
|
Spongy bone |
Also called Cancellous Bone, Deep to the Compact Bone, Forms a meshwork of supporting bundles of fibers called trabeculae
|
|
Trabeculae |
The meshwork that makes up spongy bone |
|
Bone Composition |
Bone is made up of a matrix and several types of cells |
|
Bone Matrix |
Very dense and contains deposits of calcium salts |
|
Calcium Phosphate |
Makes up 2/3rds of bone matrix |
|
Collagen Fibers (proteins) |
Makes up 1/3rd of bone matrix |
|
2% of bone mass |
are made up by bone cells |
|
4 Bone cells |
Osteocytes, Osteoblasts, Osteoprogenitor cells Osteoclasts |
|
Osteoprogenitor Cells |
Squamous stem cells that divide to produce daughter cells that differentiate into osteoblasts |
|
Osteoblasts |
Immature cells that secret matrix compounds also know as osteoid. Once completely surrounded by bone matrix, they become osteocytes |
|
Osteocytes |
Mature bone cells, Live in lacunae, Between layers of lamellae, Connected by canaliculi, Do not divide |
|
Lacunae |
A pocket which holds the osteocyte, sandwiched between layers of bone matrix |
|
Lamellae |
The layers of matrix surrounding lucunae and canaliculi |
|
Canaliculi |
Narrow passageways penetrating the lamellae, connecting lununae with one another and connecting lucunae with the central canal, allowing the exchange of nutrients and minerals. |
|
Osteoclasts |
Multi Nucleated, Absorb and remove bone matrix through osteolysis |
|
Osteolysis |
Acids and protein-digestive enzymes secreted by osteoclasts dissolving the bone matrix and releasing it's stored minerals. |
|
Central Canal |
Found at the center of an osteon containing one or more blood vessels that carry blood to and from the osteon |
|
Perforating canals |
Extend perpendicular to the surround surface holding blood vessels that supply blood to osteons deeper in the tissue and to tissues of the medullary cavity. |
|
Medullary Cavity |
The space in between bone that contains marrow
|
|
Endosteum |
an incomplete cellular layer that lines the medullary cavity, the trabeculae in spongy bone, and the surfaces of the central canals found in compact bone. |
|
6th Step of Endochondral Ossification |
Epiphyses fills with spongy bone, The metaphysis is currently the epiphyseal cartlage/plate, It now separates the epiphysis from the diaphysis, Chondrocytes are organized by Zones |
|
Zones of chondrocytes |
Osteoblasts move up diaphysis replacing cartilage with bone, Chondrocytes degenerate on diaphysis side, Chondrocytes divide and enlarge on epiphyseal side |
|
Step 7 of Endochondral Ossification |
At puberty, Cartilage production slows and osteoblast accelerate, Epiphyseal cartilage ultimately disapears, Epiphyseal line remains once epiphyseal growth has stopped |
|
Epiphyseal Closure |
An event that results the epiphyseal cartilage gets more and more narrow, until it disappears |
|
Epiphyseal Line |
Line created when epiphyseal growth has stopped, The former location of the epiphyseal cartilage |
|
Articular Cartilage |
At the end of endochondral ossification a thin cap of the original cartilage remains exposed to the joint cavity, It prevents damaging the joint from bone to bone contact.
